Several areas important to the field of human factors are examined, including jet air transportation problems, private flying, automobile safety problems, passenger safety, urban planning, testing procedures, and product safety. It is concluded that there is great need for increased quantification of human factors data and the creation of data banks, and especially in human performance prediction, human reliability, and prediction of human error. Implications of the research are discussed.
